lionaire. He played the easy, well-fed,
rich plutocrat revisiting his New
England home to perfection. His act
ing was consummate, because it was
nature itself, without mirror being
held up to it. He had just that
amount of narrowness, of close-fsted-
ness, Of sagacious doubt as to the mo-
tives Of men who approached him with
schemes for investment; he acted the
millionaire to perfection, and he never
overdid 1t.
"Amasa, l can't co." he said.
''They think I'm such good man to
make money. They have actually
brought money to me to make more for
them. Yes, I've received over $780,
600 for investment within the last
month.
Thunder and guns!" exclaimed
Amasa. "This is dreadful! see
state prison yawning before us!'
@It's just what the Great American
Spreadeagle Mine needs said Elisha,
swelling himself out-'a little money.
"Well, take the money and 60, then
go! 1 have nothing to do with this
nothing!
Amasa was very angry. He re-
solved to be responsible for his brother
no longer. He went to his daughters,
all but one now were married and in
happy, well-to-do homes. "Your un-
Gle and 1 have had row." he said.
"He is going back to California.
"And the organ, the new library, the
gymnasium"
ssWell, he is mad about something.
He says the town has slighted him.
But one thing must be understood,
whatever he does, 1 wash my hands of
him forever!'
Elisha did leave few days after.
He took away about a hundred thou
sand dollars of widows and orphans
funds, went to San Francisco, put his
money into various enterprises, paid the
bene6ciaries 8 per cent interest, was
honest as the day, and died a few years
ago worth a great deal of money, which
he left, share and share alike, to his
brother six girls, and he left thou
sand dollars for the new organ.
Amasa still lives-a fairly well-to-do
old country lawyer-slightly in debt
still, in East Chesterville. But he is
the adored grandpapa of twelve of the
dearest little grandchildren, and he Of
ten says to them benignly, Children,
I have put you all-and myself-on
our feet. Yes, but had to tell your
| mother an awful lie.
awhat was the lie, grandpopper?'
II had to say the LATEST man alive
your grana-uncle, children-1 had to
say the penniless old rascal-your
grandfather brother, my dears, who
had robbed me of all I had in one Of
his, COMPOUNDED mines, the Great Amer
ican Spread Eagle Gold and Silver-I
had to say, and stan to it, that he was
one of the biggest millionaires on the
Pacific coast! But that lie has put us
all on our feet!'

This capped the climax. The Sun

had taken lively interest-to raise
money enough for an organ; but, to do

~GENEROus OFFER..

We notice that some OF the territorial
press are ventiIating the gilt edged gall of
religious weeklies which send out circulars
in which in consideration of about SIS
worth of advertising they promise to send
a 81 paper to any address named for the
space of a year. The nerve of some of
these duff rs is simply astounding to the
meek and lOwlY hayman in the newspaper
field. In the first place their periodicals
are of no practical use to the secular
press, and in the second place many of
them (though there are some very notable
exceptions) are not even worthy of re-
spest.

THE Ex-LAND COMMISSIONER.

Now hat Land Commissioner Sparks
has gone out of Office 1t has begun to
dawn on many people that he was a good
deal bigger mar than they had suspected.
His correspon ience with Lamar has not
elev ited the latter in public esteem while
it has certainly increased the respect en-
tertained for Sparks.
The Omaha Bee. a Republican news
paper, in abiding to the affair says. 1T
seems that both propriety and courtesy
were violated by Mr.. Lamar in making
public his letter almost as soon as it
could have reached the commissioner,
thus showing his great anxiety to have
the country understand that there was a
breach between himself and the commits
sioner which would necessitate the retire
ment from Office of one of them. A
proper re-pect for the president, to whom
the alternative of choosing which of these
officials should remain was to be submit
ted. required that his correspondence
should at least not have gone to the pub
lie in advance of the president being made
acquainted with the issue and given a
chance to pass upon it."
Despite his personal peculiarities and
the bitter ~preiuuices engendered by his
reform methods. Mr.. Sparks looms up
bigger to-day in tho estimation OF many
thoughtful people han he ever did before.
